Well, getting to try out some of that wonderful bounty of the SFF, CSA, or Veggie Box.
I usually am not a big fan of fennel, mainly due to the fact that it taste like black licorice and that has always been disgusting in my book.You know the scenario, you are 7 years old and you get that bag of jelly beans for Easter. Of course you eat the pretty Red, Pink, and Purple ones first. Then you settle on the Green, Yellow, and Orange, but then there they are those horrible Black Jelly Beans staring at you, ruining the otherwise beautiful rainbow!
But I am trying to open my horizons and widen my taste buds into a much broader sense of appreciation for different types of flavors and foods.
To start with, I thinly sliced the fennel and placed it in an ice bath to make sure it crisped up. (read that somewhere on the Internet) Then I proceeded to segment the grapefruit, and peel and slice the avocado. I placed these things along with goat cheese (it wouldn't be a dish for me, without a little dairy. The creaminess of the goat cheese was a nice compliment to the fennel and the grapefruit) Added this to a bed of greens. Poured said below vinaigrette over:
Best time of the day....... TIME TO EAT:
For the vinaigrette, super easy.
1/4 cup olive oil, just shy (the rest of the way I added some truffle infused olive oil)
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/8 cup good honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (you can add a little more if you want some extra kick)
1 tsp lime juice
Combine and then whisk together.
